Oh yeah they can potentially romp the Dolphins and they likely will but that's just one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 You can bet, for sure, that Bruce Allen is going to get real smug if the Skins beat the Dolphins this week. "See? It was Gruden's fault! Bill Callahan will right this ship and make everything *I* did great again!" If they lose to the Dolphins it will be, "Damnit, someone check Doug's time card to make sure he's been in the building, the guy is never ****ing here! And where the **** is Kyle?! He can't even spell scout! And Bill was just as big of a problem as Gruden! All of them blow! This is on their shoulders!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I like the fact we get to see KOC call plays but will it matter if Callahan is dead set on playing 80's smash-mouth football, is that the type of offense a 34-year-old offensive coordinator would call?

The writers for Redskins.com are wrong here. Didn't know that. But he really can't be the coach. He even said he is interim in his presser. Who knows what is what with Allen at the helm, I guess...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I think KOC calling plays is like me deciding the best play calls for Haskins. Squashed by folks at the top. If Callahan is trying to salvage the season and make the playoffs, why would he give play calling duties to someone that has never done that before? I think the by committee approach remains, and that announcing him as the play caller is merely chapter 4 in Bruce's upcoming autobiography, Chasing Sean McVay. Callahan saying that mere hours after being named coach points to Cally saying that as a directive from Bruce. Trying to look like a competent GM, so we don't fear losing yet another competent OC for an old stiff. Kevin is probably thinking get me the **** out of here. At the same time we "give" control to Kevin, Cally says we are going to run the ball. Big red Penalty flag. So I question just how much leeway PCKOC will have in deciding game day play calls. We should see him in the booth, lips moving after every single snap, right? IIRC Kevin said he wanted to pass on first downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owa Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 17 hours ago, London Kev said: I see a lot of ridicule regarding the idea of becoming a running team, but did anyone see the Colts game yesterday? They rushed 45 times for 180 yards, controlled the clock (37:15) and beat a very good Chiefs team, all with Jacoby Brissett (a 3rd round pick) at QB. Admittedly they've invested three first-round draft picks in the O-Line, but a run-heavy approach can be successful, even in today's NFL. Worked pretty well for the 49ers last night as well (40 times for 275 yards). Maybe we can get there eventually if we can get our o-line sorted. Should make it easier on Haskins (or any of our QBs for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever went down, I think they legit viewed him as a weasel. It's a bit off topic, but my understanding of it has always been, Barrett suffered from bipolar disorder and the chaos surrounding the game, and last minute changes, and pain treatments likely contributed heavily to a break that had already happened once before: https://www.si.com/nfl/2015/12/16/untold-super-bowl-barret-robbins-raiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Consigliere Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 FTR, a year from now we'll have Guice and Love, at that point, if we've also added some talent to the OL via free agency/the draft, running the ball more will make sense. Right now we have an 800 year old RB, an elite but injury prone satellite back, a poor OL, and bad QB's and no TE's. There's literally nothing that can be done to salvage any of this other than to roll out the kids at WR and see how many keepers. When we have a 100% Guice (probably offseason 2021, maybe by December) and Love and that line, then we can actually try to build a running game. Right now the running game should just be used to help provide our kiddie WR's w/relatively reasonable coverages to beat, we shouldn't be leaning on it for anything other than that as its a fools errand. I don't mind though, a bad coach making bad decisions gives us a better chance at 0-16 or 1-15, and Tua, so I'll take that over smart decision making.

Thinking Skins Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 4 hours ago, Skinsinparadise said: The running game hasn't been good. But the dude in charge of it was Callahan. He had a big time reputation as an offensive line coach before he got here. But the run game has really struggled. It's been his baby the whole time. I am gathering he's thinking it's not the players or the scheme but the lack of quantity of runs. Will see. Very true, but I'm skeptical as to whose fault that was. I don't have much confidence in Cali, especially with his SB team being one that was heavily pass oriented and rumors being that it was straight out of the Gruden playbook. But that said, we don't know how much he was listened to or what the true breakdown of responsibilities was (we still don't know). But I'm just saying philosophically that its good to have a good RB and TE to lean on when your QBs suck. And what Cali said is also true, some guys like Thompson can get going after one run or on a draw play. Other guys like AP and RBs we've had in the past need to get into a groove. This was the thing with Portis. He hates leaving the game because it messed up his groove. I think if we can get AP 20-25 carries a game we can easily see him getting back into the 4-4.5 ypc average. 31 minutes ago, Boss_Hogg said: Depending on the outcome of the season, D Hall believes Callahan may be the full time coach.

He will guide the team to a miraculous 4-12 record and will be branded a great head coach and leader. Just seems like a Redskins thing that would happen. No one will be seriously interested so Callahan will be crowned the head coach they wanted all along. Not at all implausible when you consider the recent history with the DC.

Maybe they hire Raheem Morris (Tampa connection) to run the defense and then talk about how close they are leading into 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When reality was no one wanted the job. Because to think that our buffoons were truly impressed by Jim Zorn would be too much for a fans mind to handle, even with 12 additional years of evidential proof of the buffoonery.
